Senate frees cotton sewing thread on tariff list
In a June 30 session the Senate Democratic caucus backed removing cotton sewing thread from the tariff, a vote by one margin over the finance committee’s opposition.

Debate hints at possible reopening later with more senators present as amendments to the cotton schedule were largely adopted.
